'''Charles Goodshow''' (Japanese: '''タマランゼ会長''' ''President Tamaranze''), often referred to as '''Mr. Goodshow''', is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the President of the {{pkmn|League|League Competition Committee}}. He made his debut appearance in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]''.

==History==
===[[Original series]]===
Mr. Goodshow debuted in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', where he was introduced by [[Officer Jenny]] as the President of the Pokémon League Torch Committee. During the torch relay that took place prior to the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], he watched over the flame of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Moltres}} to make sure no harm would come to it.

When {{Ash}} attempted to join the ceremonial relaying of the torch as one of the torch runners, Officer Jenny tried to stop him, saying he looked like a troublemaker. However, Mr. Goodshow stepped in and defended Ash while also informing Officer Jenny that how a person looked on the outside was not as important as who they were on the inside. As a result, Ash was allowed to run with the flame.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Mr. Goodshow appeared during the opening ceremonies of the [[Johto League]] general {{pkmn|League Conference|championship competition}}, the [[Silver Conference]]. He was seen giving out balloons to greet the attendees. He also had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', in which he was shown watching the [[Full Battle]] between Ash and his [[rival]] {{Gary}} in the {{wp|Single-elimination tournament|eighth-finals}} of the tournament.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
In ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'', the [[Team Rocket trio]] stole the flame during the opening ceremonies of [[Hoenn]]'s [[Ever Grande Conference]] and tried to fly away with it, but Mr. Goodshow was confident that Ash would get the flame back. Mr. Goodshow's intuition was right as Ash was able to safely return the flame to its rightful place, allowing the tournament to go on as planned. In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', he made another cameo to present {{ho|Tyson}} with the championship trophy.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Mr. Goodshow made small, non-speaking appearances during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', he viewed the opening ceremony with [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{an|Cynthia}}. He then spent the remaining episodes in that arc watching battles with Cynthia.

Charles Goodshow is the head of the committee responsible for organizing the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s taking place in several [[region]]s across the [[Pokémon world]]. He is an energetic old man who greatly enjoys overseeing the various tournaments promoted by the [[Pokémon League]].

As the President of the Pokémon League Torch Committee, he observes the ceremonial relaying of the torch to ensure that the flame will safely arrive at the stadium. He is also seen during the opening ceremonies of many League Conferences, shouting words of encouragement to the participating {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, as well as during the closing ceremonies, awarding the winning Trainer with the championship trophy.

Charles Goodshow also appears to have an interest in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, as he revealed in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' that he watched the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] on the [[television]], and that he admired {{an|May}}'s performance in it.
